SOFTWARE VERSION: 1.2009.41-10 STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: 1. Open media player 2. Touch "Music" 3. Make sure the view mode is "All songs" 4. Search for a middle part of the song title (e.g. "Bedroom" for the song "Original Bedroom Rockers") EXPECTED OUTCOME: The song is found and "Bedroom" is highlighted. ACTUAL OUTCOME: No song is found, as the search function only matches the beginning. REPRODUCIBILITY: always OTHER COMMENTS: Use cases where I would not be able to find a song I'm searching for: *) The song title (errorneously) contains the track number => "03 Walking on sunshine" (search for "Walking") *) I only know one artist of a song with multiple artists => "Kruder & Dorfmeister" (search for "Dorfmeister") *) I know the remixer, but not the artist/song title => "Loser (Fatboy Slim Remix)" (search for "Fatboy")
This has been fixed in package mediaplayer 1.1-1+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 2009.42-9 (Note that 2009 is the year and the number after is the week.) Any public update released with or after this build version will include the fix. Please verify that the new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time.
Please note that the fix for this issue is NOT included in the final Maemo5 version 1.2009.42-11 that was released today. The fix will be included in the next update after 1.2009.42-11.
I confirm that this has been fixed in 2.2009.51-1. Thanks!

The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for public: The Maemo5 update version 2.2009.51-1 (also called "PR1.1" sometimes). Please leave a comment if the problem is not fixed for you in this update version.
Confirmed to be fixed in the PR1.1 :) it even searches for substrings, not only beginning of next words, so its a good experience. Can I mark the bug as closed, or I guess Thomas should do it once he verifies it :)
